Daredevil criminality

In an alarming spate of violent criminality from the night of Monday to the day after in and around the capital city, six persons were cold-bloodedly murdered.
In the most macabre of those murders, a leader of Jubo League, the youth front of the ruling AL, was shot to death allegedly by his close associate in Gulshan as the victim was entering a shopping mall.
One shudders at the ease with which the sharp shooters could get away with their killing mission unchallenged. However, some of those alleged killers could soon be identified and arrested, thanks to the CCTV installed at the shopping mall in question. It is surprising that the shopping mall that was being visited by many shoppers at midnight lacked adequate police vigilance.
It is also to be noted that the assailants of a BNP ward leader, who was shot to death in the Hazaribagh area, could not be traced as yet.
In either incidents of killing of political persons, rivalries seem to have spilled out into the open splattering public places with blood.
This is mind-boggling. This certainly does not bode well for politics, when killing of a rival turns out to be the sole method of resolving disputes.
The causes of four other homicides range from shootout between criminals and lawmen to murders with yet unknown motives to pure quarrels between individuals.
So many killings within such a short span of time point to how criminality is fast spreading making citizens' lives frightfully insecure.  Law-enforcers can ill-afford to remain lax at such times.
